Its fast and the edge that it applies is razor sharp and long- lasting with a "bite" that slices smoothly through both fibrous and non-fibrous foods.
Using the Chef’sChoice perfected CrissCross® technology; this 2-Stage sharpener develops an extremely sharp double-bevel edge with microscopic "teeth" along the entire cutting edge. These tiny teeth provide the "bite" on the edge and work to instantly engage the food for effortless cutting.
How It Works: The Chef’sChoice CrissCross® sharpening technology uses 100% diamond abrasive wheels that simultaneously sharpen into and out of the knife’s edge on each side of the blade for a superior, burr-free razor sharp edge with a durable arch-shaped finish. On opposite sides of the edge, the sharpening lines combine to form the "crisscross" pattern that shapes the microscopic teeth.
Stage one sharpens the edge and sets the initial bevel using larger diamonds. Stage two, featuring micron-sized diamonds, completes the second bevel and delivers an ultra sharp, long lasting arch shaped edge. Stage two is also designed to resharpen serrated knives.
